Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Candidates from the Town of Fort Erie's 'Certified Candidates' page (certified August 21, 2026) and its PDF List of Certified Candidates (https://media-003-ca.cdn.govstack.com/forterie-ca/media/qgmhwwcy/town-of-fort-erie-list-of-certified-candidates-2026.pdf), read 2026-10-09. The page prints candidates' home addresses and phones: not copied. Candidate emails kept only when not free-mail or campaign-named.
- ACCLAIMED: Ward 1 Councillor George McDermott and Ward 6 Councillor Ann-Marie Noyes were 'declared acclaimed by the Clerk of the Town of Fort Erie' (certified list PDF). Both are sitting councillors.
- Offices (Town elections page): Mayor (also sits on Niagara Regional Council) and six ward Councillors. No Regional Councillor for Fort Erie appears among the 2026 offices or the certified list. Sitting Regional Councillor Tom Insinna (listed on the Town's Mayor and Council page) is a candidate for Mayor against Mayor Wayne Redekop (listed as 'Wayne H. Redekop').
- Sitting council from the Town's 'Mayor and Council' page. Town council members are reached by web form (no published @forterie.ca addresses), so email is null; telephones not copied.
- Every sitting ward councillor is on the 2026 list for their own ward. Nomination papers were not opened.
